Need help with broken resistor on UG802

[kimdrummel]

Hello there!

I was gonna put a heatsink on my UG802 for the reason of running it at 1.6 ghz with the Finless/2dark4u 1.7 rom. Unfortunately i managed to ruin a resistor in the process of cracking the case open. I would be very thankful if anyone with an opened UG802 could measure this resistor with a multimeter so that i can replace it with a new one.

Here's a pic of it's location:

I got 3.9KOhm for this one:

Thank you ever so much fragmint! So is that exactly 3.9KOhms or are we talking like 3.954 or something that could be a straight 4KOhm resistor? I'll see if i can get hold of a 3.9KOhm resistor somewhere around my house...

I doubt you will be able to accuratly read the value of that rersistor without removing it from the board. You will be reading the resistance of other components otherwise.

Whoops, Bob's right on that one.

In my defense I haven't had my coffee this morning!

What Bob is saying is true. Any measure with the component directly on the board is useless, cause you're affected by the other components (98% chance of an erroneous measure). Despite of that, it could be a little error or a big one. Depend wich is the use of the resistor you can change it by one with a near value without problems, but take care, just in case.

Good luck!

Well i tried measuring between the two points when i had no resistor there and i didn't get any result whatsoever from that. I found a 3.9KOhm resistor in an old Audi ECU that i salvaged. Soldered it in place and now i have a picture again.

I'm guessing this resistor is on the circuit from the mali to the HDMI output or something like that. But that's just a wild guess.
